Saranagati (Surrender) Mantra

Dwayam (Saranagati Mantra / Mantra Ratnam) is two lines and a total of six words

SrIman nArAyaNa charaNau = Sri Lakshmi, the auspicious Narayana- His divine feet
SaraNam =
take refuge (His feet are the refuge of Chetanas (souls) and the means for liberation.
prapadyE =
fall at His feet (We accept His feet as the refuge.)

SrImatE = Lakshmi (and) Lakshmi of the form mercy, and mediator between Narayana and the Chetanas
nArAyaNAya =
Narayana, the supporter and maintainer. aya = wishing an impeccable service.
nama: =
not mine. This destroys the attitude of "I am the doer, enjoyer, knower and the only devotee."

Sriman Narayana, I fall down and surrender at your feet Sriman Narayana, my obeisance to you.

Comment:

I hold Lakshmi-associated Narayana's feet as the object of my surrender.

It is on account of Lakshmi-associated Narayana.

Dwaya Mantra has two lines and condenses a ten-point reference as follows:

  1. Goddess Lakshmi is the mediator between the Jiva and the Lord
  2. They are the divine couple, always together.
  3. The Lord is of auspicious nature.
  4. His form is divine.
  5. His feet are the means of liberation from the world of Samsara.
  6. We accept His feet as the means of liberation.
  7. Lakshmi and Narayana are our goal.
  8. His control and power are inimitable.
  9. We worship Him.
  10. We destroy the inimical stance of “I and Mine,” the enemies of our soul.
